Pigmentation

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is an increased production of melanin in the epidermal or dermal layers of the skin, which causes the skin to become darker in patches. It is seen in the form of freckles, moles, Melasma (seen in pregnancy), Sun spots, Mottled pigmentation, which is mainly seen around the neck and decollatage and is caused by over exposure to the sun. Not all pigment can be treated successfully; this is why we strongly suggest a consultation to see whether you are a suitable candidate.

All skin treatments are commenced once a thorough skin analysis is done, which is a FREE consultation with one of Ayurve’s skin therapists. All pre and post skin care will be explained, and all outcomes and costs will be advised.

Pre-Maturely Aging Skin

Premature aging of the skin is hitting a large number for population of both men and women who are in their twenties and thirties. Skin ages prematurely if the person does not follow a healthy lifestyle. And when over exposure to the sun, smoking and pollution is combined with unhealthy lifestyle the decline in elasticity and collagen production is accelerated, resulting into faster aging of the skin.

What is Pre-Maturely aging skin?

Aging of the skin is a natural process and 2 main factors influence this procedure. The first type that come into picture are intrinsic factors, these are genetically programmed changes occurring naturally in the skin. And the second type are extrinsic factors, they result from the environment and other external forces that affect the skin. It is the extrinsic factors that accelerate the aging process of the skin and results into what we call – Pre-Maturely Aging Skin.

Extrinsic causes of Pre-Maturely Aging Skin:

Sun Damage

Smoking

Pollution

Environment

Lack of Sleep

Stress

Alcohol

Medications

Drugs

The best way to avoid aging prematurely is having a consistent skin care regime at home with products recommended by a skin professional, a good skin therapist to advise on treatments and help maintain skin followed by a healthy balanced lifestyle.

Sensitized Skin

Sensitized Skin versus Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin is a commonly seen in people that have fair skin and are usually of Northern European ancestry, they will have a genetic predisposition towards sensitive skin. This is mainly because they have they have a thinner epidermal layer and a lower amount of pigment in their skin, making it easier for ingredients to cause irritation to the skin as its easier for them to be absorbed.Sensitized skin is not genetically programmed and can be a direct result from the harsh effects the environment can have on our skin, anyone, any age, can have sensitised skin. Their is a fine line between someone that is Sensitive and someone that is sentitized as both skin type and condition have the same symptoms and can be treated the same.

What causes sensitized skin?

The fastest rising factor contributing to sensitized skin is environmental assault, as the epidermis (top layer of skin) is constantly exposed to assault from the sun, extreme weather and pollution. All these factors can easily dry out the skin of its natural oils, leaving the skin prone to sensitivity as your skin needs these natural oils to protect itself.

Alcohol, certain medications, smoking, certain cosmetics and soaps are all big factors in drying out our skin and causing skins to react to harsh chemicals and ingredients. This can often see people reacting in the forms of itching, burning, contact dermatitis and many more symptoms when we expose ourselves to these things.
